CHURCH BROADCASTS
Sir,-"C.W.F." portrays a most narrow, unsound, and immature conception of church broadcasts. In their deepest convictions the large majority of listeners are most decidedly unorthodox. Competent estimates are that only ten per cent are churchgoers. This majority has lost interest in the orthodox religions because science and common sense have shown many of their theories to be false. In the Unitarian Church all belief must stand the test of enlightened reason. There is nothing "cold" about a religion which .is built securely upon that which is true and good in all cultures and in every area of progressive thought. Unitarian Church broadcasts would fulfil the best ideals of broad-casting-the greatest good to the greatest number,
